Criminal conspiracies by corporate execs are not all uncommon in the history of business and presuming that you can't possibly run into one because you personally haven't is taking an unnecessary risk. One thing due diligence is s

I get the joke, but using a very common phrase and a well known url that's already heavily overloaded seems like a poor choice. Searchability and clarity are important for this kind of thing.

I'm a little concerned that the author is basing their approach on on Pijul given that its data loss issues are exactly what you wouldn't want for the "reliable" part of their priorities, but hopefully that's just a

Yes, as evidence for this web browsers sitting at an empty new tab page are generally still using at least 100-200mb to do nothing. The likelihood that most of that is not the part that's most vital and feature rich is low.

And given their general attitude of hoping to keep things secret instead of working within the law discovery would probably find quite a few incriminating emails & IMs talking about the best ways to hide their dirty laundry. They seem t

You should always be suspicious of claims by or about a company that they made no profit when they were able to throw billions at propping up their stock price. If it's true it's financial malpractice, but it's no more believ

Zoom has account & ip information and most of these people aren't going to be using a real vpn. It's probably easier to track them than swatting calls going to voice services.

It might be hard to sell the idea that you're tracking people in another country for that. The data is on a miniscule number of peope in the US and you're missing a lot of data you'd need for a reasonable analysis. All of whi

Nothing magic, they're just sending a HTTP 302 redirect if they don't see a cookie. If you hit it with wget you'll see two 302s, one of them with the old "Moved Temporarily" text and the other with "Found"

Due to the previously mentioned problem with session resumption your DoH resolvers now know what non-vpn ips you use as well as any vpn ones. This is a catastrophic failure mode if the DoH resolver is hostile - for example you might have ju
